NEW BOOK SHARES REVOLUTIONARY FUSING OF MODERN PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH ANCIENT SPIRITUAL WISDOM

Clairvoyant Psychotherapy, by Susan Feinbloom, LCSW

Description: Why do some people remain in psychotherapy for many years? Are they really so lost, or have they -- and their therapists -- become "stuck"? Psychotherapist Susan Feinbloom, LCSW, has taken a radical approach that combines conventional psychotherapy methods with age-old spiritual paradigms to achieve true healing and transformation.
"We exercise abilities a person may not even know he or she possesses, including clairvoyance, telepathy and clairsentience," explains Feinbloom. "Working together, we can discover and transcend traumatic events to bring about new awareness, freedoms, and creative possibilities."
Feinbloom's new book, Clairvoyant Psychotherapy, outlines her groundbreaking strategies in great detail, from a three-part meditation pattern that takes us inward and enables us to get in touch with our own elemental energies, to focusing on the seven chakras, the energy centers that are the map of our psyche and reveal layers of information about us. From these we are able to explore the hidden origins and deepest roots that underlie current challenges -- and move forward towards wholeness.

Description: A Tribute to Barry Manilow: 40 years with Mandy
Author Delivers Inspiring Debut Novel
Judith Kohnen introduces her first novel, a creative inspiration of Barry Manliow’s “Mandy” – the song that skyrocketed his career in the 70s. It was first recorded as a single in October 1974, and Kohnen presents One Chance, One Moment: Book One - The Mandy Story in commemoration of the song’s 40th anniversary and in recognition of Manilow as “the man who makes a difference.” Originally written in 1986, Kohnen recalls, “I knew its title the moment I wrote the last words of the first chapter and never knew what was going to happen next.” One Chance, One Moment has had numerous revisions through the years and Kohnen gives the reason for its delay: “Divine Order, Divine Timing,” she says. “Certain things and experiences had to happen to make the book what it is today.”
In One Chance, One Moment, famous pianist and singer Garry Danzlo has lost the will to live following a debilitating accident that stems from his father’s suicide. His career halted, Garry wants nothing more than solitude, but a fun-loving nurse sent to rehabilitate him enters his life and changes everything he’s ever believed in.

But when an unexpected phone call interrupts the personal injury lawyer's midafternoon slump, he is surprised to hear from Michael Eisenberg--a former debate partner who went on to become the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
But Michael isn't just calling to chat. He's working with the FBI on a high-stakes case: investigating the disappearance of a revolutionary government scientist--one whose bio-evolutionary research could turn Darwinism on its ear, and pose a threat to national security.
The main suspect? Cult leader Philip Montgomery, who happens to have a strong connection to David's past.
If David hopes to help crack the case, the attorney has to delve into a sea of old memories, revisiting people and places left behind long ago.

But as David's old memories continue to surface, a startling deception comes to light--uncovering the truth in a most unexpected way...

Description: Sophie Dawson, award-winning author of Christian historical fiction, presents the life of Jesus -- called by the Hebrew name Yeshua -- from a unique perspective in her fascinating new book, Seeing the Life. Jesus was a flesh-and-blood baby... a child.. a young man, with parents, siblings, and friends. He laughed and he cried, experiencing the same pleasures and challenges that others around him faced.
Seeing the Life introduces the characters of Micah and Dassa, a young couple who befriend Joseph and Mary and witness the life of Yeshua, from birth to death and beyond. Micah, Joseph and their families follow the ministries of John the Baptist and Yeshua, the poor carpenter from Nazareth. Yet conflicts abound. Is Yeshua the Messiah who will lead Israel against the Roman army? Is he a fraud, a cohort of Satan? Or is he something else? The crowds cheer him, then want to stone him. They hail his arrival, then cry for his execution.
Dawson invites her readers to 'see the life' as those who lived at the same time saw it, considering the social and political issues which shaped the people and ideas, and ultimately shaped how they responded to Yeshua's words and actions.
